Thank You
The Miller Family thanks everyone who has followed Derek through his writing, music, photography, podcasts and many other endeavours.
I like the middle eastern motif as well as the psychedelic guitar/sitars droning. This is a rather dense mix that might have benefited by thinning out some of the instrumentation at times allowing the song to breath and evolve but those are arrangement details. Sonicswise, pan assignments would assist in giving the loops a distinct footprint as well as allowing the tracks to have a definitve place on your soundstage. In all a solid effort !!
I also like the general feel of the song, though it doesn’t seem like any particular instrument “stands out” prominently in the mix to grab my attention. I don’t feel I’m being directed as a listener to “listen to this part! put your attention here now!” Seems like there is potential to do this with the amount of stuff in there, just need to play with the layering of instruments a bit maybe?
I like the underlying theme but as the other comments have mentioned, you could make it stronger with more variation perhaps a drum break or something. One trick that I use is to throw in a random loop one time in the song for a couple of measures.
